Hip-Hop veteran, Queen Latifah, weighed in on the witch’s brew stirring on “American Idol” when she paid a visit to “Anderson Live” to chat with host Anderson Cooper.

As previously reported, diva Mariah Carey and newcomer Nicki Minaj had an altercation that led to the show’s auditions being canceled for the day, and accusations by Carey that Minaj threatened to shoot her.

While Latifah said that she would “never take sides in ignorance,” she also made it clear — in a nice way — that Minaj needed to get her status up before trying to disrespect someone with as much longevity and clout as Mariah Carey.

As previously reported, after Carey called into “The View” to tell Barbara Walters that Minaj called her a “bi*ch” and threatened to shoot her, the “Beez In The Trap” rapper took it to the tweets.
